      Do we know why this is? Is the ml Instance located in Russia or something? Because my God some of their views and takes are wild

          They live in a world of communist theory

          With a very big emphasis on “theory”. They somehow got so consumed by their theories that they now live in a parellel reality - or they don’t actually believe what they say, I can’t tell.

          I wouldn’t even say that live in a world of communist theory because a lot of their egregious takes are contrary to actual theory, Marxist-Leninist slant or not.

          I’d just say they live in alternate reality land.

            The ones that I’ve had any negative interaction with in regards to anything related to politics have always quoted theory at me and told me that if I just read some theory, I’d agree with them.

            I honestly haven’t cared enough to see if theory actually agrees with them or if they’re like those Christian extremists who believe that the Bible says to hate minorities.

            Yeah, the creators of Lemmy are communists of some form (I don’t remember exactly), and the older instances are largely groups of like-minded people, some egregious and some not. The most intolerable of the instances have been defederated from the rest of the instances, so they can’t interact with the rest of Lemmy. ML is probably the most mild of the bunch and is largely just one of the big instances full of memes and such, but you’ll occasionally see why they use the .ml address flare up in threads.

          You confused pacifists with enemy spies. Don’t worry, it’s a common mistake among campists
